Fishy smell from period panties

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

I am a 35yr old woman with two kids. I switched to period panties this cycle from using pads like whisper ultra. When I take off my panty to change it, there is a fishy smell - not very much but it is there. I have never noticed anything like this before... It doesn't happen outside the period. This smell is not going even after washing. Is it normal for period to smell?
